Please Note

Die only is included. Photos may show example cuts to demonstrate the design the die creates.

Measurements are approximate and taken from the outer cutting edge. Finished cuts will be slightly smaller.

For nesting sets, first gently twist the dies apart to separate the main frame. Then carefully wriggle and twist the connector tabs using small pliers or nippers to detach individual dies. Some sets may require careful trimming with fine snips.
